      The API marked here as `@developer_stable` has certain protections associated with future
      development work.
      Classes marked with this decorator implicitly apply this status to all methods contained within
      them.
  
      APIs that are annotated with this decorator are guaranteed (except in cases of notes below) to:
      - maintain backwards compatibility such that earlier versions of any MLflow client, cli, or
        server will not have issues with any changes being made to them from an interface perspective.
      - maintain a consistent contract with respect to existing named arguments such that
        modifications will not alter or remove an existing named argument.
      - maintain implied or declared types of arguments within its signature.
      - maintain consistent behavior with respect to return types.
  
      Note: Should an API marked as `@developer_stable` require a modification for enhanced feature
        functionality, a deprecation warning will be added to the API well in advance of its
        modification.
  
      Note: Should an API marked as `@developer_stable` require patching for any security reason,
        advanced notice is not guaranteed and the labeling of such API as stable will be ignored
        for the sake of such a security patch.
